Tim Kaine and Mike Pence prepare to face off on Tuesday night in what could be one of the least consequential vice-presidential debates ever staged. I imagine Mike Pence will spend a lot of time on the Obama-Clinton record, and Kaine will spend a lot of time attacking Trump. Kall observed: “More than past VP debates, the attention in this will be at the top of the ticket. “Vice-presidential debates don’t really matter much. It’s important for people to see who an emergency president might be, but I’ve never seen anything on any scale to suggest a VP debate affects voting behaviour.”
